Apart from these historic and religious places, the state government has also laid out an elaborate plan aptly titled ‘Ayodhya street rejuvenation – Main Road and footpath.”

Under this, the government will spend Rs 8 crore on eight development activities, including landscape at public places, public toilets, drainage, street lights, sign boards and sandstone benches, among others.

Ayodhya lacks a permanent bus stand. Till date the town has a makeshift bus stand and its location keeps on changing according to requirement.

The temple town will now have a permanent bus stand near Saket Petrol pump and a parking lot for vehicles. For both the facilities, Rs 22 crore has been earmarked.

The government has also proposed a multipurpose hall at Digambar Akhara and a tourist shelter at Panchkoshi Parikrama.

The government has also decided to spend Rs 12 crore on the beautification of the majestic Ram Ki Paidi on the bank of river Saryu. It would get a facelift with facade illuminator, ghat renovation, stone railing, signage, solar lights, public convenience, drinking water kiosks and parking.

It would also have stone benches, stone planters, gazebos and stone bollard.
